Adecco's lobbying governance is anchored in a dedicated Public Affairs function that "reports directly to the Group CEO" and, by "building from a priority topic list, ensures that the Group develops and advocates consistent and strategically aligned public policy positions," with "significant public policy positions and discussion papers ... signed off by senior leadership." The Group also records its indirect engagement via BusinessEurope on climate change and confirms that "we have evaluated, and it is aligned" with the Paris Agreement, registering its activities transparently in the EU Transparency Register. However, the company does not disclose any detailed monitoring metrics, a formal review cadence for climate-related lobbying, or the criteria for reassessing its membership in industry bodies, leaving the ongoing enforcement and updating of its climate-lobbying commitments somewhat unclear.

Adecco Group offers only limited insight into its climate-related lobbying. It acknowledges participation in broad policy discussions on the green transition and references overarching frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative, but it does not identify any specific pieces of climate legislation or regulation it has tried to influence, describing its activity only in general terms like supporting "creating open, dynamic and efficient labour markets." The company does clarify how it engages, noting both indirect advocacy through trade associations such as BusinessEurope and direct outreach led by its in-house Public Affairs function, and it names institutional targets including the European Union, the International Labour Organization and the OECD, even disclosing the €30,000 paid to BusinessEurope. However, it gives no detail on concrete tools such as meetings, consultations or letters, nor does it name individual decision-makers. On desired outcomes, Adecco states broad aims—advocating a "human-centric approach to the green transition" and more ambitious emission-reduction trajectories—but it stops short of setting out the precise policy changes or measurable legislative amendments it seeks. The disclosure therefore shows some transparency around channels and general objectives, while leaving the specific policies lobbied and concrete outcomes largely undefined.
